Now, Turkey-Perky stopped pecking and turned to the group:
“Rooster-Booster, did you see the sky fall?”
“No, I did not,” the rooster replied quietly.
“And, Ducky-Chucky, you look strained: how are you feeling?” Turkey-Perky asked.
“Well, I am concerned, I am hot, and I wonder how the sky could be falling on such a beautiful day,” he replied.
“And Goosie-Brucie,” Turkey-Perky turned to the burly bird, “You do not see any sky falling, do you?”
“No, I do not,” the goose responded.
“Ha-ha! Well, then, I will come with you on your merry way, but we’ve all got some doubts, Penny!” the turkey said with glee. He was interested to see where this adventure would go.
Henny-Penny, Rooster-Booster, Ducky-Chucky, Goosie-Brucie, and Turkey-Perky waddled and waddled and waddled until they could see the palace just beyond the farmer’s field.
“No, I did not,” the rooster replied quietly.
